How many times have you been invited to a barbeque and felt like wearing those super flattering white jeans? Or maybe that white dress that has been sitting in your closet, waiting for that perfect summer day to be worn? Well ignore that little devil on your shoulder that encourages you to avoid wearing white outfits to a barbeque, because here are 3 reasons why you should!
1) Barbeque ≠ Sloppiness: The main reason people avoid white at barbeques and outdoor events many times lies in the idea that you will become an instant slob. As if you have been hiding under a rock for the majority of your life and that once you see that delicious barbeque in front of you, you will lose all of your manners and poise. Umm, wrong. Simply put, don’t be messy! Place a napkin over your lap while you eat and eat slow. Many times sloppiness comes from rushing. Savor every bite and if all else fails, bring a Tide To Go pen, those things really work!
2) White will keep you cool: The summer is the best time to wear those white linen pants you own. Outside of being cute and on trend, they will keep you nice and cool. You can wear black, brown, grey and all those dark colors any time of the year, but those colors will make you a prime target for the sun’s beaming rays. So to avoid a seemingly menopausal sweating episode, opt for white and ditch the darker colors.
3) It’s an event, go all out! : Barbeques and other types of outdoor events give us an opportunity to show our family and friends our unique style. To dress up and feel sexy! It’s a festive time! No need to throw on a pair of jeans and a tee-shirt (though there is absolutely nothing wrong with that) simply because its an outdoor event, its an event nonetheless. So be stylish and don’t avoid white!
